In the early days of Google, people believed there could be absolutely no moat in search because competition was just "one click away" and even Google believed this and deeply internalized this into their culture of technological dominance as the only path to survival.

At the beginning of ride sharing, people believed there was absolutely no geographical moat and all riders were just one cheaper ride from switching so better capitalized incumbents could just win a new area by showering the city with discounts. It took Uber billions of dollars to figure out the moats were actually nigh insurmountable as a challenger brand in many countries.

Honestly, with AI, I just instinctively reach for ChatGPT and haven't even bothered trying with any of the others because the results I get from OAI are "good enough". If enough other people are like me, OAI gets order of magnitudes more query volume than the other general purpose LLMs and they can use that data to tweak their algorithms better than anyone else.

Also, current LLMs, the long term user experience is pretty similar to the first time user experience but that seems set to change in the next few generations. I want my LLM over time to understand the style I prefer to be communicated in, learn what media I'm consuming so it knows which references I understand vs those I don't, etc. Getting a brand new LLM familiar enough to me to feel like a long established LLM might be an arduous enough task that people rarely switch.
You don't understand - that was the _minimal_ amount of damage typically inflicted in urban warfare of this intensity. Mariupol itself wasn't even carpet bombed because there were a lot of locals hiding in the basements. Nor was Bakhmut, for largely the same reason. Look at what we did in Mosul or Raqqa to see how we'd approach this. Flatten first, then move in. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/world/war-torn-...
It turns out that you can use "precision strikes" to flatten whole cities if you do sufficiently many. Which you can do if you use AI to give you targets until you run out.
Good point. Thinking... Facebook's infrastructure is enormously expensive to run. But they manage that for free. And chatgpt can place ads as easily as google. So openai needs to make it cheap to run, then ads, then victory.

People citing their current high prices would be right. But human brains are smarter than chatgpt, and vastly more energy efficient. So we know it's possible.

Does this oversimplify?

> Signals are of two forms: the one is asynchronous, the other synchronous. The one should be replaced with a generic message queue in a technical debt free design. The other is debatable.

Unfortunately, sychronous signals of some form are here to stay. That is, having that interrupt-like context switch blocking the same thread. But the ergonomics could definitely be improved. Seems like exception ports are quite useful, but to my understanding they lack some flexibility and performance, so in the end I'd like to emphasize the interrupt style as the bare minimum. Self-paging in Nemesis and Barrelfish reflects this "delegate an individual's responsibility to the individual" principle. Definitely still use a message queue abstraction if applicable, I love that stuff. And since I want the whole state-machine-async-event-loop hog anyways, a top-level event loop fits in nicely as the handler for synchronous signals.

There are actually two default firewalls. The firewall that's configurable in UI can only block inbound connections but not outbound connections. The other firewall (pf) doesn't have the concept of application so one cannot allow one app to access a remote IP but block another, and I also don't think it supports DNS.

I have little desire to defend Smotrich (nor would Israelis, as his extremist party is currently polling at ~3% support), but even he wouldn't dare claim support for something as far-flung as the alleged "Greater Israel" ideology.

On the contrary, after Smotrich was merely perceived to lend support for expansionism, having spoken at a conference behind a graphic reminiscent of the Irgun's emblem depicting the entire Mandate for Palestine, it triggered a minor diplomatic incident, and the Israeli government immediately apologized to Jordan and clarified that Israel is committed to maintaining its peace agreement with Jordan.

But all of this is a smokescreen: Israel is a democracy desperately suing for peace with its neighbors, and at no point in history has initiated a war to expand its borders (or for any other purpose). There is no popular support for attacking or invading Israel's neighbors within the country, and there has never been such a policy in the country's history.

Let's put aside the war crimes stuff for a second and think about this as Hackers.

Israel's military actions are so awful that they obfuscate the instruments of surveillance and warfare Israel's tech and defense industries have been quietly building.

Israel has a captive population at its borders that they and are using to prototype tools to identify and track individuals, identify their familial/professional/social networks, break open their communications and remove any privacy of speech, and the tools to remotely execute (via drone) anyone who ends up marked for termination. All with stunning scale, if not necessarily accuracy. Some of this is mentioned in the WaPo article, some elsewhere (consider coverage of persistent surveillance tech deployed in the West Bank as well as Gaza).

This technology is not staying in Israel. The NSO Group's software is probably used by law enforcement near to you to break into iPhones. Elbit systems has been contracted by DHS for surveillance of the US-Mexico border, using camera and drone systems used in Gaza and Lebanon over the past decade.

The question you have to ask is whether you're ready to give up your last vestiges of privacy of movement or communication. Are you ready for the chilling effect that comes from that? Are you ready for what a government that has this technology, and the companies and capital that guide it, will ask of you?
That you have a decent number of connections and some of them are mutuals so I know you're a respected part of the software community.

In fact, it is worse than the storage requirements, because the message delivery requirements become quadratic at the scale of full decentralization: to send a message to one user is to send a message to all.

ATProto does not scale wide: it's a liability to add more fully participating nodes onto the network. Meaningfully self-hosting ATProto is a risk to the ATProto network, there is active reason to disincentivize it for those already participating.

I'm baffled by your wilful ignorance. You paint Israel as this benevolent entity. Here are some numbers from this latest conflict alone[1]:

Gaza Strip:

45,484+ killed
Indirect deaths likely to be multiple times higher
6,000 to 10,000+ missing
108,090+ wounded
16,300+ detained
1,900,000 displaced

West Bank:

835 killed
6,250+ wounded
12,100+ detained

Militants inside Israel:

1,609 killed
200+ captured

Lebanon and Syria:
Total killed: 52,368+

Israel:

952 civilians killed
902 security forces killed
13,572 wounded (as of 22 Jan. 2024)
251 captured or abducted
200,000–500,000 displaced

I don't see anything in those articles that describe a plan or even the framework of a policy to annex the territories.

There just isn't a workable path forward to accomplish it. The Arabs who live there harbor irredentist fantasies to overthrow the Israeli government and replace it with Hamas or some other dictatorial organ, and as long as that is true, Israel has no desire to hand out citizenship to those people.

Of course, the minute that ideology becomes anathema among Palestinian Arabs, the whole point is moot because Israelis will have their security and a two-state solution would immediately become workable.

In the stock market, though, saying "I know $FOOBAR is going to overperform on earnings" could trigger other people to pump the price and INCREASE your payout.

Conversely, if you know Santa's Little Helper is going to win the 6th race and told everyone, that would drive DOWN the odds and your potential payout. You'd have to have insider knowledge, then fabricate and disseminate a lie so that the actual winner gets bid down to 99:1 least-favourite before the race.

So the incentive model is different. In a way, in the stock market, being seen as a psychic genius can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. $FOOBAR doubled in price because people chased your prediction, not due to fundamentals.

I’ve been in a meeting where the Chinese professor in USA on a joint country course sends many of their students to a technology conference and I’m not sure how, but most of his students who attended the conference somehow decided to write their reports on US military uses of technology instead of what Facebook or Google demoed. This meeting had students attend from both China and USA.

This is an outrageously blatant lie. Of course, Russia is trying its best to damage as much civil infrastructure as it can.

A quote: "The latest available assessment by the World Bank, European Commission, United Nations and Ukrainian government found that direct war damage in Ukraine had reached $152 billion as of December, 2023, with housing, transport, commerce and industry, energy and agriculture the worst-affected sectors." [1] By now, it should be over 200 billion.

The reasons why Russia failed to cause more damage have nothing to do with demoraphics, good will, or anything like that. After all, Russia sent to death hundreds of thousands of ITS OWN citizens. Had it cared about russian lives as much as you are trying to whitewash here, it would not have been fighting this war to begin with.

The real reasons why Russia has not caused more damage or killed more civilians, are, first, it has failed to achieve air superiority. Second, Ukraine, with the help of its allies, was able to set up more less effective air defense against missiles and drones.

"Nearly 12,000 missiles have been launched against Ukraine by Russia since this full-scale conflict started.

Some 80% of those have been intercepted by Ukraine." [2]

The number of drones must be comparable or higher.

The limited number of civilian casualties is easily explained by the number of refugees from Ukraine which is in the millions. Its definity not because Russia did not try too hard.

A bit more nuanced than that; the NRA didn’t become the hardline defender of minimal gun regs until its 1977 leadership shift. Reagan’s 1967 Mulford Act as Governor targeted the Black Panthers, and then he signed 1986 FOPA as president, which relaxed some rules but banned new machine guns. It was a broad compromise package from the start.

Good to know. Thanks for your feedback. It certainly isn't fun to hire, train and then be replaced by foreigners. Going years without being hired is especially difficult. Being raised poor, white, hyper religious, kept out of college and forced to teach myself everything from high-school onward made the struggle even harder.
I can imagine that being black as you say made your struggles different than mine, but difficult none the less. Keeping ones skills up to date certainly is essential. I too have never worried about foreigners replacing me.
I do not have a great network. People most certainly don't hire me solely due to being white.

Interestingly, the current issue isn't so much getting hired as it is getting an interview at all. This has started after the rise of chatgpt. No one has bothered to ask me what the issue is and has instead jumped to conclusions which I'm personally quite entertained by. As I said in my original post: my situation is unique.

Top of mind, I recall that the US sent Israel 14,000 of the Mk84 2000lb bomb alone since Oct7. The lethal fragmentation radius of the Mk84 is 400 feet.
